Serial No. 95,563.

The object of the present invention is to provide an improved wire cloth measuring and delivery table, by which any required lengths of the wire cloth may be readily and l conveniently measured off and packaged for delivery, thus avoidin the inconvenience and liability to error resulting'from previous methods of handling wire cloth for de livery.

For a full understanding of the invention,

a detailed description of a constructionembodying the invention in its preferred form will now be given, in connection with the accompanying drawings forming a part of this specification, and the features forming the invention then specifically pointed out in the claim. 1

In the drawings' Figure 1 is a plan view of the table, and Figure 2 is a side view, partly in section. Referring to the drawings, A is the table proper, supported at a suitable height and in any suitable manner, being shown as supported by posts or legs B. At one end of the table a support C for a roll of wire cloth is provided, this support being shown as consisting of brackets secured on opposite sides of the table and carrying two rolls 1, 1 on which the wire cloth roll R is supportedfor rotation, and a guide roll 2. One

of the rolls 1, 1 is provided with centering disks 3 at opposite ends between which disks the wire cloth is drawn 0& from the roll. On the rear side of the brackets is mounted 35 a cross-bar forming abrace i, which forms I a back-stop for the roll B so as to avoid all danger of the roll falling from the rear end of the table and to assure the proper posi:

placing it in position. At the opposite. end

the table A is preferably provided with a I handle 8 by which-the cloth may be wound up in any desired lengths.

. Between roll support C and the measuring. 9 machine D, the table is provided with a scale quired, the wire cloth is run over the table tion of the roll R without special care in a, shown as afoot scale running to six feet, and adjacent the roll support C with a more finely divided scale 6, shown as an inch scale, so that any short lengths of material may be measured in feet and inches for pack-11 aging or delivery. On the underside of the table a slide 9 is preferably provided for an area card or other price or area calculating device, which may be'withdrawn from its support and used on top of the table for cal-p.160 culation. The table also preferably carries on its underside asupport 10 for a roll of wrapping paper 11, and a support 12 for a roll of sealing paper tape 18, gummed on one side for sealing the packages of wire cloth.

Inoperation the wire cloth roll R is placed on the rolls 1, 1 of roll support C and the wire cloth is drawn off under roll 2. If only short pieces of wire cloth are required,'1 i'l0 such cloth will be measured in the lengths required by the scales (2, 6, cut off on the measured line and wrapped or delivered. If afconsiderable length of wire cloth is re- 315 under the counter 6 and onto the roll 7, V where it is. wound up to the length required as shownby the counter 6, either with or without the use of the scales a, b for exact determination of odd lengths. After the .80 cloth has been wound. up on roll 7, the

counter 6 is swung back on its pivotal sup- A. If it'be desired to divide the wirecloth roll B into rolls of shorter lengths measured bythe counter 6, the wire cloth roll may besupported upon therolls5 and the table A not used, except for packaging the short length rolls successively removed from the roll 7. 1

What l claim is: x I a A wire cloth measuring and delivery table having at one end a support for a wireclothroll during unrolling, a wire cloth measu'ring machine at a distance from the wire cloth support,ysaid measuring machine having ajsupport for a rollof wire cloth dur- Y ing unrolling'and a roll for winding up-theliuco measured 010th, and a scale on the table between the table r011 support and measuring machine over which the unrolling Wire cloth passes for measuring the Wire cloth unrolling from the table r011 support on the table.
